As developer, you could for example
pkgsysconfdir = $(sysconfdir)/$(PACKAGE)
dist_pkgsysconf_DATA = \
db_config.xml \
file_config.xml \
memory_config.xml
As user, you can
./configure --sysconfdir=/where/ever

Several methods listed here:

You can also use the gnulib module configmake (for the standard
directory names).
Cheers,
